Conveniently located close to some of the best area attractions, Garden City Beach is directly south of Surfside Beach and ends on a peninsula at the mouth of Murrells Inlet. One of the most renowned attractions in Garden City Beach is the Pier at Garden City. Other points of interest include Marlin Quay Marina and restaurants Sara J's Seafood Restaurant, Gulfstream Café, and Original Sam's Corner.
Just south of Garden City Beach is Murrells Inlet, a seaside community considered the "Seafood Capital of South Carolina" and home to some of the nation's best golf courses. Once primarily a fishing village, the town is best known for the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk, a half-mile-long boardwalk overlooking a pristine salt marsh, and the many award-winning restaurants along Highway 17 Business in the central business district.
Brookgreen Gardens, a sculpture garden and wildlife preserve built on four former rice plantations, is located slightly south of the MarshWalk. It features several themed gardens with American figurative sculptures, trails through several nature reserve ecosystems, and the Lowcountry Zoo.
If you're looking for places to shop, The Market Common, Broadway at the Beach, Barefoot Landing, two Tanger shopping outlets, Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade, and many more shopping facilities are all within an easy drive from Garden City Beach.
Looking for entertainment and attractions? Take in a show at Pirates Voyage, Medieval Times, Alabama Theater, The Carolina Opry, or Legends in Concert. Then visit SkyWheel Myrtle Beach, Ripley's Aquarium, WonderWorks, Ripley's Believe It Or Not Odditorium, Hollywood Wax Museum Entertainment Center, and The Pavilion Nostalgia Park.
Other points of interest close by include the waterfront community of Georgetown, the third oldest city in South Carolina and the second largest seaport in South Carolina, and historic Conway, with its downtown Riverwalk area nestled on the banks of the Waccamaw River. Both towns include fine dining, shopping, and historic sites.
Take a day trip to Charleston to experience shopping, a harbor cruise, a city carriage tour, or a plantation tour. Charleston is only 87 miles from Garden City Beach - approximately two hours. It's a picturesque and exquisitely preserved southern city with antebellum architecture, cobblestone streets, and historical landmarks.

Great house, ample parking. Easy beach access right across the street (other than the steep stairs that you have to navigate to get to beach). Enjoyed the pool everyday. Lots of room for a big family with 6 bedrooms. Only minor complaint is i could not find an outside electrical outlet to plug my golf cart charger in, finally found one in the roof of the underside of house. Would definitely have this on our list to come back to.

This home was perfect for my families needs. The location is wonderful and the amenities in the home are fantastic! I had a complaint about cleanliness in the home and management responded immediately.Checking In and Out was a breeze too!I rate this property 5 Stars
While the house itself was spacious, nice, and had a great location, we had some issues as soon as we arrived. Upon checking in, there were 2 large piles of dirty linens from previous stay, with no clean linens for us. They quickly dropped it off and we were left to make our own beds, line trash cans, put towels in the bathrooms, etc. Not the cleanest. Issue with bugs and they came and sprayed. There was somebody’s fake eyelashes in one of the bedrooms, stained up comforter in king bedroom, dirty pool, and piled up trash on arrival as well.

The home is beautiful and well cared for. The pool area is perfect when you need a break from the sand. I would not recommend taking 15 adults. We had 13 adults and two 11-year old kids. I had to purchase an air mattress and we had two people sleeping on sofas.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 August 2022
Thank you for the feedback, Heather. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. Likewise, we are sorry to hear the bed options could not accommodate your family and that you had to purchase an air mattress during your stay. This six-bedroom beach house was designed to accommodate a family of up to 15. Although we understand an adult may not to sleep in the twin bunk, the twin-over-double futon bunk is perfect for children or couples with one child. Nonetheless, we are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again.

We loved this house and location! 14 of us (7 adults and 7 'kids' 18 and under) fit nicely! The location was perfect...a SUPER quick walk across the street and you were crossing the dunes to a very uncrowded location on the beach! Pool was the perfect size! Nice and clean all around! 2 things to note: Fridge is a small fridge...not a full size like you're used to at home. House did not have the ice maker as listed nor an iron.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 August 2022
Thank you for your feedback, Annjanette. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. We are pleased to inform you that the homeowners are purchasing an iron to be available to guests during their stay. Likewise, we apologize for any confusion our wording in the property description may have caused. The ice maker is built into the refrigerator; we have amended the description. Please note that for our guests' safety, we empty the ice maker between each reservation. Finally, although the kitchen refrigerator may not be as large as your own, it is standard-sized. Because it's not side-by-side (the freezer is at the bottom), it may seem smaller than some guests are accustomed to using. There is also a smaller beverage refrigerator in the upstairs loft area. Otherwise, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again.

Overall good. It was not very clean on arrival. Floors very dirty. Dead bugs in an outlet bug zapper. No access to a vacuum during the week. Broom provided not satisfactory. Drain in master bath clogged. Had to lift drain cover and remove tons of hair and dirt. Shower would not drain until I did this. Gross. Smoke detector in a main level bedroom hanging from ceiling. My husband screwed it back on. Definitely HVAC did not work to our desired level of cool. We felt it was being controlled off-site. Too many personal family photos for a rental.

My family had the best time staying at Serenity by the Sea! The accommodations were perfect for all of us. With the pool and beach so close, everyone was able to enjoy doing what they prefer. I was very impressed with the house and all it had to offer! My one and only negative was the refrigerator is a little small and we were having issues with the freezer the whole time. I would suggest maybe adding an icemaker to the house.

House was clean, roomy for a party of 8 and across the street from beach access. The fridge was too small for a house of that size, so daily grocery trips were necessary. There was also a dorm size fridge upstairs that fit a few items. Grocery stores were only a few minutes by car though

Reviewer Comments:
The home is beautiful but the house keeping and maintenance was poor. The location is awesome. It obviously had been only surfaced cleaned, if that. The floors were filthy. My kids feet were black after just being in the house barefoot for 10 minutes. We found a couples roaches while sweeping ourselves. There was no attention to detail when cleaning. The master bathroom drain had hair stopped up in it. The master bedroom comforter has someone else’s body fluids on it and it clearly had not been washed. The backyard grass was over grown. There were dirty broken pool floats under the stairs. The pictures of the pool area did not match what we experienced. Just General over all filthy. Very disappointed with the house keeping.We loved the layout, decorating, and space in the house. If it had been clean and kept up it would have been much more enjoyable.
